Matt Barnes Details The Dysfunction in Phil Jackson’s Final Season with the Lakers 

Lol

🗣️FACTS ! >🎤 🏀🗑️🤾⛹️

On the clippers yea not for the lakers he was ok his defense was ok he was never locking nothing up lol, he did do good passing on the lakers thats about it, attacking the basket he was ok at that all he use to do was fake like he gonna dunk and scoop lay up left hand same move every time or a dunk every now and then, shit Shawn Marion was a better role player and defender than him . Odom wasn’t that critical why you think he was on the trade block for Chris Paul. Odom was so inconsistent good one game trash the next 5 then good again when Paul gasol got there it help Odom a lot because he wasn’t ask to score anymore or guard the bigs that helped him out a lot then he started to be consistent at playing defense and passing because we didn’t need him to try to be #2 all the proof is in the pudding go watch that 2006 season all the way to the playoffs when they played the suns when we was up 3-1 what Odom did that year lol you have to watch the games not the stats.

@@nodayzoff5902 I don’t agree with you.. I didn’t look at stats. I know basketball. LO was the glue that made it all work. It’s beyond the stats. His length was critical on defense and offense

More than a roleplayer. A star who sacrificed like Kevin McHale, Manu, and others. He was elite. Definitely a step above a roleplayer he coulda started on pretty much any other team in the NBA at that time.

🎯🎯🎯

I never get why Lakers didn't go for that Rockets package for Gasol? Dragic -Martin - Kobe - Scola - Bynum as starters and Blake, Fisher, Artest, Barnes and whoever you can get for Lamar for frontcourt depth would be a great core. Bynum was ready to be the 2nd option plus Martin and Dragic would bring that much needed spacing with their shooting.

Yesssss LO was crying like a biyaach in front of Kloe hoodrt as

And after Gasol left LA, he played really good for the Bulls and made the Allstar team, so those trades discussion really F-ed him up.

It's so true. Media wanted Pau out so bad he was so defeated. Kobe when he was injured in 2014 demanded that he get the ball since they tried to run the offense through Dwight when Kobe was out. Getting Dwight didn't work they were supposed to have CP3 and Bynum and that would worked. Instead they got rid of Bynum he fell off. Odom got his feelings hurt and fell off. Pau stuck it out while he became a third option and the front office and media constantly took shots at him. Went to our Bulls and honestly had one of the best seasons of his career I thought. He had a lot left to give.

Phil definitely would have come back if CP3 trade went through in Dec 2011

Yeah Phil wanted them going with Shaw and keep the triangle

I was thinking the same thing lol Mike brown it was bickerstaff for a little then dantoni

​@@MrEliasdlno he wouldn't

Phil didn't come back bc Kobe did not want him back

Why does a slightly past his prime Kobe with CP3 win two titles? They're beating the Heat in '12 or '13?

Fucked the league blocked but mo way they win another ring in that year

Shoulda woulda coulda. No rings are guaranteed even in a hypothetical fantasy scenario

Kobe would still be alive thats how fk'd up it was that set everything in motion

Not without gasol. No way

@ericpeters0n yeah................he's so REAL that he lost a analyst gig with Sac by making a verbal threat to a high school kid. Not to mention acting a damn fool at a game that the ninja who took his woman and his kids is coaching.

When you said gem you meant an average looking rock? Dude is terrible in conversation

@@JL-dt1siI agree… he’s probably Gen X yet he sounds like a 17 year old Gen Z when talks lol.

nah Ron wouldnt touch Phil. He'd cuss and yell but touching? hell no. phil hat 11 rings at the time and gave Ron 2.

​@@whoknows20232 1 for metta

I mean he coached Dennis Rodman before Ron lol

Dude where have u been ? Phil Jackson? Guy dealt with Dennis Rodman and got the best out of him , Jordan,

​@@whoknows20232 Ron has 1

What's truly tragic is the Lakers completely squandering Kobe's physical peak with a total trash team until he threatened to leave

@@steveshin820 Do you mean, the period after trading Shaq? The most dominant player in the league? Who, despite being overweight, was still able to win a title as the second best player and to be a factor in the league for 4-5 more years after the traded? Who was traded for scraps at the first decent offeres before Kobe said "me or him"? Are you really saying the responsibilities is on the Lakers and Kobe was the victim?

@@steveshin820 Kobe threatened to leave when Shaq was still in the Lakers, btw. He wanted to be the guy. He wanted Shaq out.

@@riccardoferrazzo8283the me or him narrative has long been debunked by Dr Buss himself

@@riccardoferrazzo8283dr buss didn’t extend Shaq BEFORE Kobe was a free agent. He wasn’t paying Shaq what he wanted and O’Neal was pissed. He was cussing at the owner’s box during games. Buss stated that regardless of what Kobe decided he wasn’t gonna pay and extend Shaq. Did you forget about Shaq rehabbing “on company time” when the lakers were going for their 4th title in a row? That didn’t sit well with Lakers ownership.

How so?

Well the Clippers did make it pass the 2nd round . They went to the conference finals in 2021.

And ppl wonder why mike left

You are absolutely right

@@jordanflores5687he had a gambling addiction that would of came out if he didn’t “retire”,

Yeahhhh riiiiight. They got swept by Dallas with Phil, and got mopped by OKC the next year. Phil wasn’t fixing a damn thing.

Phil Jackson didn't want to coach no more, lmao. Why do people forget this? Game moved past him and it showed in that sweep. Phil Jackson isn't fixing Nash/Dwight injuries either

How can you have the Mavs of your a Dallas fan? Doesn't make any sense

Kobe's work ethic? BWAHHHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! good joke kid

Almost did it twice but for McChale sending Garnet to Boston and they forming a big 3 with Pierce and Allen.

He has done it three times kid ​@@Mike1122.

Jeanie Buss inherits her father's wishes. Jim isn't the best owner

Please by 2013 they weren't winning anything

Yeah, then he wanted to do the "Princeton Offense", whatever tf that is. Can you imagine trying to go from the Triangle to that? It went over like a box of rocks, and it was clear at the beginning of the 2012 season all was not well in Lakeshow Land...and then it got worse. Yeesh.

I bet you were in the crib when that series was going on in 2011 little baby 🍼

He was 2-6 lol

​@X02Overdose he would've taken more than 6 3s in a whole series

Facts

please explain better. Lou who? Tyronn Lue? Who made Lou put a mouthpiece in their mouth? What is the name?

@@lukekylestanley4072 you can find the video in this podcast, it's call something like Matt Barnes tells hilarious Shaquille O'Neal joke.

Lou Admunson I believe was his name

@@qco1414 ive heard other stories where shaq would shit in a bucket and throw it at people...

Cause Chris Paul is known for winning rings right

@@moneymoney3235 cause kobe is known for winning them not cp3…. He’s got 5 in 7 trips… you got room temperature iq 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The elites ain't gonna let that happen. Did you see the cartoon of kobe's heli crash years before he passed? It's all rigged.

David Stern was such a crook. Always putting his thumb on the scale and trying to manipulate things.

I don't think switching CP3 and Pau Gasol changes anything drastically. CP3 hasn't even won anything as the 3rd best player so wtf he gonna do as your #2? Kobe was also at the tail end of his career when that trade would have occurred so saying 4 more rings is hilarious considering how injured he was at that point.

@AlmightyWavyy yeah he's certainly helped bring a title to all those other teams............................NOT.

Cos Donald Sterlibg was super close with David Stern

The trade was vetoed because the league was operating business for new Orleans at the time and other owners didn't think it was fair that a team ran by the league was giving the Lakers a star player out of favoritism.... Imagine how every other fan base felt when a team ran by the league gives their best player to the most popular and successful team....felt like collusion

The New Orleans Hornets didn’t have a owner at the time so they were owned by all 30 teams in the league, for a trade to go through, it would have to be approved by all the owners, owners like Dan Gilbert and Michael Jordan voted against it after that shit that happened with Miami so the trade got vetoed, David Stern didn’t stop the trade to hurt Kobe

I’m glad everyone here commented letting you know what really happened. No one was trying to screw over Kobe lol, the trade was screwing over the hornets and the other team owners were not cool with it.

the only reason why she looks decently competent is because of Lebron. She’s no better basketball-wise

@@richardsong7732 Seriously, Jeannie's a big ole groupie and Lebron wanted to come to LA anyway and its still nothing but constant drama in LA

I thought so back then. Now that she sold out Laker tradition for LeBron I think differently

@@MrEliasdl How? The Lakers are superstar land

Old injured CP3 on the Rockets had the Durant Curry warriors beat with Harden doing little. If he didn't go down to injury he would have finished them. You don't realize how good prime CP3 was. He would have been a perfect fit for pre Achilles Kobe who could still turn it up when needed.

WTH are you talking? Boston was a nonfactor after the 2010 year. They never got back, so why would they worry about them.

The NBA as a body also owned the Hornets instead of a private owner so they had more authority to shoot it down

They actually did hire Mike Brown first. They hired D’Antoni after they fired Mike in the beginning of the 2012-13 season

@@gregorydunston2952 yea i know that

You got Gasol that was a bank robbery.

You must be under 30 lol

Old injured CP3 had the Durant Steph Warriors beat with Harden doing little. Prime CP3 with Pre-achilles Kobe and all the support players that would have come? That's at least two chips. CP3 is a 1 level player like Kobe. Pau was a 2 at his best and 3 by that time. Pau at that time did nothing special with the Bulls or Spurs. I loved Pau as a Laker but he only shined that bright because of Kobe.

@drec00k206 no I'm older and I remember, pau won 2 chips with kobe already while cp3 is injury prone and not proven in the playoffs

​@@yeon723Pau mentally checked out. He never recaptured his 2008-2010 form for the Lakers after he discovered that his whore of a partner cheated on him and that the Lakers basically traded him for Chris Paul managed to make things worse.

Yes he was, 3 way trade had him going to Houston

The trade is Lakers: CP3, Rockets: Pau, David West, 2 first rounds, and Hornets: Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, Lamar Odom

Your insane if you believe that nonsense

@@melvynsngltn27 why? Who is beating CP3, Kobe, and Dwight? That one trade changes everything, basically gives Kobe a longer runway for success.

@CarCrazy24 your joking right. Losing Gasol and Odom would be huge Dwight got hurt in 2012 and he would definitely get hurt again. With no other front court player and new coach and teammates that team would flop

Another reason for me to not like LeFraud James

Nah the reason why some of the owners was complaining was they wanted the Lakers to stay in luxury tax lane that trade would had gotten the Lakers out of the luxury tax lane

If that was the case the league would’ve never allowed KD to join the Warriors lol think before you type idiot

They definitely needed more pieces but a team with a prime CP and Kobe is bound to make noise, and people would’ve been more inclined to play with the lakers. When people saw that the lakers weren’t winning and Kobe was getting old they felt they didn’t want to deal with an aging cranky Kobe and no one wanted to come to LA. But if we had CP the story might’ve been different.

@@brandonsantiago2298 Kobe was not in his prime and was already declining athletically and especially defensively. Trading your big man duo of Gasol and Odom is a massive blow. Miami, OKC, San Antonio all improved post-2011 and I don't see how LA beats any of those teams. Kobe fans are irrational and argue on emotion, not logic. (if you're only implying CP was in his prime, my bad. I stand by my point)

@@pingpongbro88 yeah I don’t think you read my comment properly. Kobe nor Gasol were no longer in their prime but Kobe could still ball. Kobe was still averaging the same numbers of 27 ppg, but you look at Gasols numbers and his went down every playoff. Bynum was injury prone and Odom after winning those chips got complacent and no longer had the drive to keep working on his game and body, he said so himself hence he literally retired a couple of years later. Artest was old and slow as well and no longer in his prime. The lakers definitely needed to trade for better pieces around Kobe in order to contend. And like you said the Heat, the Spurs and a raising OKC were all better than the lakers. But if you simply had CP3 along side Kobe just with them two they could’ve gotten more out of the players around them. Whether people want to admit it or not CP has always made his teams better, he made the clippers better, he made Houston better, he helped a bunch of rookies in OkC to make the playoffs and he made the Suns better. CP is not really a closer, but you’d have Kobe for that. Kobe with CP would’ve been a great duo, and if they had gotten Howard (although after that back surgery he was never the same) they would’ve had a really good big 3. Kobe would’ve never busted his Achilles and what we’re seeing of Lebron playing great in his 19th, 20th, 21th season we would’ve seen Kobe do it first and would’ve had at least a contending competive team instead of being at the bottom of the barrel in his last 3 seasons. Right now Lebron has benefited a lot of the play in tournament. Cause if it weren’t for that he wouldn’t have made the playoffs last year nor 2021 nor this year either. So Lebrons final years have not been pretty either, and I think we can all agree he has had a better team than what Kobe had from 2013-2016

The plan was to get Dwight too, which they eventually did, unfortunately the whole CP3 veto thing really fucked the Lakers up big time and for a long time

@@brandonsantiago2298 they could've been competitive but with Bynum/Kobe/CP3 filling out 95% of their salary, the rest of the team would be paid in luxury tax and a lot of minimum guys. Not saying Gasol and Odom weren't declining but you still need a presence on the interior. Getting CP3 solves one issue but creates another It would've been great to see Kobe remain on good teams till season 20 though. He'd have to clearly be the second best on a team like LeBron right now. Golden State was right around the corner. I don't think he would've got #6 but who knows what happens with roster construction Also, Kobe's ludicrous contract in his final years kept that team from being able to be viable or competitive. A non-factor was eating up their salary on the bench and a bunch of guys on rookie contracts and vet minimums were dragged by the media for trying to do their best with what they had. They had to accept mediocrity with an expiring Bryant contract

Lol he was in the NBA for 14 years, what are you 12? Just to get into the league is extremely difficult and requires a great deal of talent

@@wonderful780 he got lucky making it ,he was low tier
